wonders wether Nick was really there to get rid of his Camry wagon and come across to the dark side? :D

LOL, my sister's boyfriend might trade in his Delica, and I'd eventually like to get my old man to at least consider a s2 M35 when he gets rid of the Camry (yep, he actually owns one), so you're partly right, Craig. But the C34 is staying, unless some miracle happens and I can afford a 6-speed manual Axis S.

Ahhhh a manual. How awesome would that be, I would very much enjoy the N/A motor accelerate through a 6 speed manual. It certainly wouldn't be turbo like but I think it would be a nice matchup.

Do you think Nissan purposely made this car to be difficult to modify just to piss us off or was tiptronic the trend at the time for luxury wagons??

Also does anyone know what the M35 were worth brand new??

I'll save you the dreams Nick. Compliance is a no-go on the 350S (3.5 RWD Manual).

The Axis S is fine in RWD or AWD (both auto) though and I believe Northshore have a couple on stock :D

No AWD in the Axis S. I would have snapped it up in a heartbeat otherwise. I really liked the interior of those cars, even if they were a leather/ cloth combo. Had a nice feel to to them , whatever that mean. :O

In 2001 at the launch of the M35;

250t RS JPY 3,160,000 a drop of 100,000 compared to the equivalent C34

250t RX JPY 3,250,000 a drop of 10,000 vs C34

AR-X JPY 3,560,000

and for interest.. 300 RX JPY 3,200,000

Those prices don't seem to be too extravagant, so were they not overly popular because they have so many options of cars in Japan or are those pircest out of reach for the middle class japanese worker.

Or is my conversion wrong, cause in Oz dollars I am reading that to be around 40k.

Just remember that the R35 GTR is only 70'000 yen in Japan. And here it is $158'000.

You can see the Japanese prices and specs for virtually all the Stagea M35 models from 2001 to June 2007 here:

Just make sure you have the Google toolbar installed and let it translate to English.

Where can I get one of these 70,000 yen GT-R's :blink:

I think you meant 7,000,000, but got the point. Must be a VERY expensive boat trip to Australia to get $158k

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
